Which command details the network interfaces and their respective subnet and broadcast addresses?

The command that provides a concise summary of the network interfaces, including their respective IP addresses, subnet masks, and broadcast addresses is "show ip interface brief." This command is particularly useful because it presents the information in a simplified format, allowing network administrators to quickly assess the status of each interface along with its assigned IP configuration.

This command outputs a list that includes each interface, its IP address, the status of the interface (up or down), and whether it is administratively down. While it does not provide detailed information like the exact subnet and broadcast addresses directly, you can infer those details based on the IP addresses and the subnet masks listed for the interfaces. The combination of these parameters allows the user to understand the configuration of the network at a glance.

Other commands listed do not serve the same purpose. For instance, "show ip interface" provides a more detailed view of each interface, including security settings and detailed metrics, but can be overwhelming when only a quick overview is needed. "Show arp" focuses on the Address Resolution Protocol table, showing the relationship between IP addresses and MAC addresses but does not include interface statuses or subnet details. Lastly, "show mac address" displays the MAC addresses associated with the device interfaces but lacks any information on IP addressing
